Canterbury, Your Place, Your Stories

February 24th 5.22am. At the airport in Wellington waiting for our flight to Sydney we have had about 3-4 hours’ sleep hoping we can sleep on the plane, Bill has only had about an hours sleep I don’t know how he can keep going- it’s going to catch up on us all soon. Arrived in Sydney and did some running around for work then just collapsed in the hotel.

Our Goal

The earthquakes that struck Canterbury in 2010 and 2011 are among the most significant events in New Zealand history. QuakeStories is a place to share your stories of these and other New Zealand quakes (Seddon, 2013; Kaikōura, 2016), how they affected you - wherever you live, the aftermath and the ongoing story of the rebuilding. It will become a record for future generations, one that will continue to grow long after the quakes stop being news.
